LET’S GET SPRITZY
Because nothing says “I’m emotionally unavailable but cute about it” like an Aperol-stained smile at golden hour.
We’ve been getting dirty all over LA—one martini at a time. But July called for something lighter, fizzier, and just as flirty. Enter: the spritz. Citrus-forward. Low ABV. Served best with side glances and sun- kissed shoulders. And there’s no better place to get spritzy than West Hollywood—where everyone is hot, unbothered, and perpetually “between projects.”
Here are the three best places to sip, flirt, and maybe accidentally soft launch someone on your story:
1. Zinqué – Aperitivo Nights with Main Character Energy
8684 Melrose Ave
Zinqué on a Thursday night feels like a European summer romance you forgot to cancel. From 6–10 PM, they serve complimentary Aperitivo spritzes on the patio with a rotating lineup of DJs who look like they just walked off the set of Call Me By Your Name 2.
The Vibe: Sunset, string lights, and the undeniable urge to text your situationship “you’d love it here.”
Order This: Classic Aperol spritz with a side of eye contact.
Spritzy Score: 10/10 for pretending you’re in Positano, even if you still Venmo your therapist.
2. Bar Lis – Rooftop Romance & French Girl Delusion
Pendry Hotel, 8430 Sunset Blvd Tucked above the Pendry, Bar Lis is where French Riviera glam meets WeHo thirst traps. Their Summer Spritz is a floral-citrus dream with just enough bubbles to convince you to kiss someone with a mustache and a trust fund.
The Vibe: Sheer linen sets. Smooth jazz. Strangers who smell like bergamot and bad decisions.
Order This: The Les Limonade — tequila, Lillet, orange blossom, and just a hint of regret. ISSUE XIX
Spritzy Score: 11/10 if you wear something that flutters when you walk.
3. The Henry – Where Day Drinking Becomes a Sport
120 N Robertson Blvd
The Henry’s brunch crowd is 75% sunglasses and 25% exes who pretend not to see each other. Their seasonal spritzes rotate— think elderflower, peach, or spicy blood orange—and pair perfectly with patio gossip about who’s dating who’s ex-agent.
The Vibe: Power-lunching with a crush who says things like “I’m not on Instagram anymore.”
Order This: Whatever spritz is on special. Then another. Then a soft- block.
Spritzy Score: 9/10 for the vibe, 7/10 if you accidentally run into your former roster.
Light, flirty, and a little bitter—just like your summer situationship. Let’s get spritzy.
